Guess the country from an unlabeled patch of the world seen through an airplane window. Every wrong guess climbs higher and reveals more of the map.

Name the country under the ring.
Flyover shows the same place to everyone each day, drawn in a clean atlas style with every label removed. You start close enough to see individual roads and end high enough to see a continent - and the only thing the game tells you between those two points is which way to look.
View one is a maze of canals between long thin islands and a lagoon. You guess Norway - fjords were the instinct. Miss: the arrow points south, and the window pulls back to show a coastline running north-west.
You try Portugal, far to the west, so the second arrow crosses the first: it points east. Two arrows have now boxed you into the central Mediterranean, and view three shows an unmistakable shape starting to form. You name Italy and the country traces itself in ink. Three windows.
The window you solved it on is the score.
No points and no multipliers. Solve it at the first window and that is a perfect day; every miss costs you one and widens the view. Six windows is the whole game - miss the sixth and the answer is revealed with the country traced on the map.
Six habits of low window counts.
Flyover FAQ.
Six. The first view is a tight close-up about 26km across. Every wrong guess climbs higher, so the window pulls back and roughly triples the ground you can see, ending on a continental view.
Each wrong guess shows an arrow pointing from the country you named toward the hidden patch. It is a direction only - never a distance. Two arrows narrow the world to a region, but they cannot finish the job on their own: the view out the window is what tells you how far along that line you are.
No. You only name the country containing the ringed point at the centre of the window. The label under the result - the fjord, the strait, the delta - is flavour, not the answer.
Your score is the view you solved it on, so naming the country at the first window is a perfect run. There are no points or multipliers - the window number IS the result.
Yes. Everyone in the world gets the same patch each day, and it refreshes at midnight Eastern. Past days are playable from the archive.
Map data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors, redrawn in FlightQ's atlas style with every place name removed. Terrain and the shaded relief come from Mapzen elevation tiles, which is also where the sea-floor depth comes from.
